With only 24 hours in a day and so much to do between working, prioritizing yourself and your mental health, taking care of children or relatives, trying to enjoy life with your friends, sometimes it’s just too much. Then to top it all off, having to stay healthy and active on top of all the things that come with adulthood can be extremely overwhelming. Something usually gets put on the back burner and most of the time in these cases, it’s your health.
How healthy your heart is depends on (in most cases) how well your body will function. You know Honey Nut Cheerios might actually know what they’re talking about in their commercials.

Being active and exercising is an essential part of keeping your heart healthy as well.
